Officially, my 7th grader starts on August 23rd. Because her Middle School is new, the kids *can* go on the 21st. She is playing hooky from that though, we are going to chase the solar eclipse that day!

we are pretty close in the path of the eclipse- I'm in the "boot heel" of Missouri. our work is shutting down and bought the special glasses so we can all watch as it goes past. That is pretty cool! Where are you guys going???
